Dunno what to buy next for my 172
Any ideas??

I find the A048 last a bit longer, but they are normally a bit dearer too so its much of a muchness.

What are you using it for? Trackdays or racing?

Trackdays I think RSR are quite a good option.

Racing I would be looking to something a bit more race orientated than any of the ones mentioned so far.

If you are using 15" wheels, mytyres.co.uk are doing 888's in 195/50/15 gg compound( medium ) for £87.60 delivered each at the moment if price has any bearing on your choice.

A048 take alot more time to warm up than 888's if youre sprinting??

Even better they've dropped to £86.90 now. Buy a cup of tea with that 70 pence.
For anyone worried that the compound isnt mentioned, they are definitely gg (med) as I have 2 on my spare wheels already and a mate has just had 4 delivered this week.
